Believe Good sam's, Coach Net and FMCA all have this service. Correct me if I am wrong.

Well first of all lets all get on the same page. Are you talking about Good same emergency road service or are you talking about Good Sam Emergeny assistant plan that provides transportation for the person, drives or takes your RV home, gets your spouse back home and many other benifits? So let us know what plan you are talking about and we can go from there. For those that don't know about the GS emergency evacuation plan here is a link.

I beleive that the OP is asking about the GS Emergency evactuation plan, and not the road service, we will see if he comes back to clear this all up. Any way if you are interested, click on bothe links to see the difference. I don't beleive coach net offers a plan like this but could be wrong

One of the great free benefits of FMCA membership. In case of an medical emergency FMCA will make arrangements to drive your motorhome back to your home address. There are a lot of other free member benefits under the emergency assistance program and are all included as part of your FMCA membership.

Now let me get this straight; an air ambulance (Helicopter) costs $ 7,500.00 just to get it into the air and heading your way. A medically equipped fixed wing air ambulance costs $ 12,000.00 just to get it into the air and heading you home. The average RV cost of $ .50/mile just in fuel just to operate and many of us are at least 1500 miles ($ 750.00 + return airfare for driver) away from home during the cold winter months but both FMCA and Coach-Net can guarantee you this service at NO COST
Only one word: AMAZING!!!!!
Yes truly Amazing what some people will believe.

I see by your signature, you sell a extremely expensive competing service....amazing how some can openly sell a commercial product, while others get slapped for it.

The 'Life Flight' insurance is economical because so few people ever need it.

Spread out the cost over 10's of thousands of policy holders and yes, it sounds like a bargain because the premiums are so low. But actuaries figure the price of policies based on how often people need that kind of coverage and I am pretty sure they got the cost right, plus a nice profit.

They have a program up in Alaska that's pretty much the same that's only $100 per year. Has a good reputation too.

The fact that I haven't read any negatives about those programs over 8 years of perusing RV forums doesn't really mean anything, I suppose, but I can't remember a time when the holder of those types of insurances said anything other then how happy they were to have it.

Have you actually looked at the emergency medical coverage that FMCA provides to its members at no additional cost?

For being in direct competition and one that stands to lose business, I'm curious what this "unwise" decision is.. ? Frankly I’m surprised that a moderator hasn’t edited your comments out as they clearly affect your business.
